ok, most of you perhaps recall my past rants against Pandora radio, but this one's a doozy ...

Posted by i'm not dead yet ! (aka pacrat) Jan 20 '14, 14:45

I set up a station on Pandora to get some comedy stuff ... so I typed in "Steve Martin" ... and it's been doing good. Got in some vintage Steve Martin standup stuff from long ago ... and it's done good about bringing in other comedians in the meantime.

but this one's got me buggered . . .

a "folksie" guitar and violin instrumental song.

On A Comedy Channel.

There only possible conceivable connection that I can come up with is that Steve Martin is known for his banjo playing . . .

but seriously, Pandora . . . a folskie instrumental song on a comedy channel ???

Perhaps you're not aware that Steve Martin is a successful folk and bluegrass musician and even won a Grammy for it in 2010. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Jan 20, 14:51 4

    - being radio, Pandora should not be offering his classic short film The Absent Minded Waiter -- nm - peglegpete Jan 20, 14:55

No, you set up a Steve Martin channel. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 14:46
